Ghent Emile Schulze circa 1910-1935. A set of nearly 140 original b/w and full colour photos mounted of lamp designs. A fine and large collection of original photographs with an average size of 15 x 10 cm 6" x 4" but many larger or somewhat smaller of well over 250 different models of lamp. A few are printed. The vast majority mounted on 122 more-or-less similar-sized cardboard sheets 14 x 24 cm; 5.5" x 9.5" sometimes two photos on one card or one photo showing up to 12 or more different designs. Several come with handwritten notes about their dimensions the light bulbs to be used a catalogue number and so on. Some are hand-coloured or in colour photography. A minority 16 loose or mounted on smaller cardboard sheets. One is a postcard dated 1932. Added: 33 similar cards with mounted photos of candle-sticks ornaments and the like from the same source. Also included is a business document from the firm of Etablissements Emile Schulze Gand Ghent Belgium. Apparently this firm was a major upmarket lamp dealer in pre-WWII Belgium and probably went out of business in the 1970s. The Museum van Oude Techieken Museum of Old Technicnologies MOT in Ghent lists two Emile Schulze catalogues: Fabrique d'appareils d'�clairage et de manchons � incandescence and Fabrique de Lanternes. Appareils d'Eclairage Manchons � incandescene. All cards and photographs are in good condition. A very attractive unique collection. unknown
